It seems a shame that people can't use gtk peers without a non-default
development library.

Perhaps we could have a 'gtk-without-robut' option ...

I tried 'yum update xorg-x11-devel' and 'you install xorg-x11-devel'.
Neither appeared to do anything.

I'm concerned about deployment.  It may be ok to require a -devel
package for somebody compiling an gcj/gtk/awt application.
However, it must be possible to install that application on a
box that doesn't have libXtst installed.  I assume that is the case?
